This concept home shows how smart design, advanced building practices, and modern technologies improve livability and energy performance
When many people envision the house of the future, they might think of the high-rise apartment where the Jetsons lived. In today’s reality, the house of tomorrow is a modest home in North Omaha, Neb., conceived by the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH). The PATH Concept Home features a number of innovations: a flexible floor plan that evolves with the homeowners’ family, panelized framing, an insulating-concrete-form foundation, soy-based foam insulation, an on-demand water heater, and a state-of-the-art gray-water system, among many other features.
